Chapter 124: Strong Alliance, Shameless
Twenty minutes later, Lao Zhang and his group walked down the stairs slowly with steady steps. When they stepped out of the last step, the scene in front of them made them frown slightly.
I saw a row of brand new and luxurious cars standing quietly at the door, with the cars flashing dazzling light, as if they were a group of horses waiting for their owner to inspect them.
Just as everyone was immersed in astonishment, a young officer in a pine green uniform, standing tall and straight with a brisk stride, ran up to the crowd, saluted without hesitation, and said loudly, "Welcome Marshal Zhang to Shanghu. I am Wei Qian, Major General of the Independent Army's General Staff, and I have been ordered to escort you. Please rest assured, Marshal, we will do our utmost to ensure your safety and a smooth journey."
"Thank you very much. I have a car. You just follow behind me!"
Old Zhang, who understood what was going on, nodded slightly and gladly accepted Zhang Ye's courtesy.
No matter what, the fact that they were able to send the convoy in such a short time is enough to prove their importance to the Fengbei Army.
"Hey, they say the Independence Army is rich. It seems they are quite powerful now."
Zhang Zuoxiang looked at the row of imported cars and joked.
"Where on earth did this kid get so much money? Is there a gold mine in Donglu Province? It's inexhaustible!"
"Hey, who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? As the leader of the independence army, how can you travel in such a shabby way?"
Old Zhang just smiled disapprovingly.
At their level, all cars and vehicles are empty and how much are they worth?
The true strength is determined by the number of troops and their weapons and equipment.
These days, as long as you have a gun, how can you not have money to spend?
at the same time……
From the moment Lao Zhang stepped out of the Shanghai Hotel, the reporters waiting nearby began to take photos and record the scene frantically.
News pieces were transmitted back to major newspapers like snowflakes.
King Fengbei personally landed in Shanghu and was received by Zhang Ye of the Independent Army. This piece of news was like a bomb, instantly detonating the already boiling Shanghu market.
The independent army of the three eastern Shandong provinces has more than 400,000 troops, countless elite soldiers and generals, and the heavy armored brigade is invincible and has few rivals.
Not to mention the Fengbei Army, an old force in Beiyang, a veteran warlord that controls the four northern provinces. It has a large territory and abundant resources, a developed industry, and a decent economy. Its 300,000-strong army ranks first in the country in terms of strength.
Recently, they have even occupied the capital, and there is a sense that they are firmly in control of the world.
Now, these two warlords are so close, how can we not be curious!
If the two of them join forces, there will be no opponent in the country who can contain them. Even if all the remaining warlords are gathered together, they will not be enough to defeat the two of them!
Therefore, from this moment on, the wind direction began to slowly change...
……
"Urgent telegram to Shanghai: King Fengbei and Zhang Ye of the Independence Army have already met!"
On a special train 300 kilometers away from Shanghai, a group of elderly men were discussing matters.
After hearing the news from the intelligence personnel, the turbulent conference room fell into a brief calm.
The meeting between King Fengbei and Zhang Ye is not a good sign.
Could it be that these two people are really going to join forces?
Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared between everyone's brows, and their hearts were beating fast.
If these two people really choose to share the world, others will have no chance to get involved.
"General Xu, you are a veteran of the Duan faction, and you have met Zhang Ye several times before. You should know something about him."
At the conference table, a small bald man with a mustache and glasses on his palm-sized face asked with a thick local accent.
"Do you think he will join forces with King Fengbei?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room turned their eyes to the corner of the table and looked at the tired-looking old man.
"Most likely not."
Xu Zhenlin hesitated for a moment, shook his head and guessed.
"I don't know Zhang Ye very well, and we haven't had much interaction, but I do know that he is an extremely confident and self-willed person."
"They have a strong sense of autonomy, are unwilling to submit to others, and have a strong sense of family and country."
"In this regard, it will be difficult for the Fengbei Army to match him, so I think there is an 80% chance that they will not cooperate."
I have to say that Xu Zhenlin is quite good at judging people. After just one meeting, he can tell what kind of person Zhang Ye is.
Although what I said just now was a little bit inaccurate, generally speaking, it is pretty much right and it is indeed in line with the principles and standards that Zhang Ye follows.
"We still have to prepare for both scenarios. Not cooperating now doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future."
The little bald man sighed softly, looked at everyone with melancholy, and said.
"I've heard rumors about Zhang Ye. He loves the people like his own children and has a strong sense of patriotism. This is very similar to our party's philosophy."
"Since we all share the same goals and ideals, why not work together?"
Having said that, the bald man tapped the table lightly and gave instructions with a serious expression.
"For this trip to Shanghai, we must be prepared for both scenarios. We must establish a connection with the Independence Army, while also taking into account the emotions and face of the foreigners."
"To achieve unification, we need the support of weapons and ammunition, as well as strong allies. If we can firmly grasp both sides, success will be not far away."
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, agreeing that what the bald man said made a lot of sense.
There are no such things as traitors or running dogs. It is just a helpless act. We have to endure humiliation in order to achieve great unification and improve the national environment.
If one is strong and does not need external assistance, who would be willing to look up to foreigners?
Little did they know that this seemingly tenable rhetoric had already been seen through by Xu Zhenlin.
At this moment, the old man was huddled in the corner, almost laughing out loud as he listened to Kang Hyun-seung's speech.
Zhang Ye is his ally on the left hand, and Yingjiang is his wallet on the right hand.
Others don't want anything else, but just want to help you achieve unification?
Do you really think others are stupid and not smart enough?
Why? I'm asking you why! ?
If you are willing to be a dog for the Eagle Sauce and lick its boots, and they give you some small amounts of money to support you, that's understandable.
But why would Zhang Ye be your ally and help you conquer the world?
Is it because of your party ideology, or because you have a shiny head, are good at haircuts and are a professional brainwasher?
It really takes the idea of hanging yourself with your bare bottom - shameless! to the extreme.
The team is not big, but they brag more than anyone else!
Xu Zhenlin had already made up his mind that he must leave this team immediately after this trip to Shanghai.
There are very few normal people here. They are all a bunch of brainwashed fools who just want pie to fall from the sky and hit them on the head.
It would be strange if a team like this could develop!
